About this Event

Curse of the Starving Class presented by Eclipse Theatre LA

Curse of the Starving Class by Sam Shepard is a darkly comic, emotionally charged play that explores the crumbling American Dream through the lens of a dysfunctional family on the brink. Set in a rundown farmhouse in rural California, the Tate family—battling poverty, broken dreams, and each other—clings to hope as they face betrayal, absurdity, and the ghosts of a starving spirit. Gritty, poetic, and laced with Shepard’s signature surrealism, this play is a gripping look at survival, identity, and the hunger that haunts us all.
